White Plains CitizeNetReporter - Parents Meet Tuesday to Organize Platform and Candidates for School Board

Midnight News Roundup Filed 02/04/02 12:15 AM: A Citizen's Committee is calling a meeting at the YWCA on North Street Tuesday evening at 7:30 PM to identify issues facing the White Plains Schools and to seek candidates to challenge for the two school board seats up for election this May.

According to Steven Rabinowitz, a concerned parent, the meeting is being held because he and a number of parents feel the present Board of Education has been "non-responsive" to the community.

Mr. Rabinowitz's letter to parents calling the meeting keynotes the meeting purpose:

"In the light of recent events with regard to the dismissal of Dr. Yanofsky, it has become clear to many of us that the current Board is both non-responsive to the wishes of the community and does not adequately represent the diversity that is White Plains. Accordingly, a number of us will be meeting to come up with a platform and program for the upcoming Board elections, and a process for identifying candidates who would be willing to run on that platform."

The group will meet in Room 218-221 on the side entrance of the YWCA at 515 North Street Tuesday evening at 7:30 PM.

The terms of Stephen Sules and Larry Geiger are up this May. Come help us develop a program and a vision for quality education, diversity and accountablity on the Board.
